Intellectualising

Intellectualising - (1910)

Many, Many Things

We Intellectualise many things! Nearly every activity that we are involved in, we end up intellectualising. We intellectualise people, events, relationships, many human activities and nearly everything that we come across.

Disadvantages

This has its certain disadvantages.

Intellectualising things limits us, especially the results of the intellectualising is about seeing the thing, person, activity, event in a negative light.

This intellectualising leads to the creation of concepts, expectations, reasoning, protests, fantasy, thinking, dreaming, and arguments to name only a few things.

How to Not!

To see something with our consciousness, or in a state of alert novelty as Master Samael says is the way to stop it.

If we are alert we can stop it, and just look upon the person, the thing, the event, the activity with a quiet mind, and then our essence will be looking at it and comprehending rather than intellectualising.

Pay some attention to this and when you stop intellectualising things you will notice a difference which is very pleasant.

Enjoyment

We should enjoy things freely, that is free from our concepts, intellectualising and the results of intellectualising. When we have intellectualised something we end up trying to enjoy things through our intellectualising and this is sometimes not possible or difficult to do, and if we do end up enjoying something this way it is difficult to repeat and because of that we end up continually disappointed. This is because we are abstracted somewhat from reality. We should be close to reality, accept the reality and love or at least come to learn how to enjoy reality and not our intellectualising of things.

End (1910).

What is the Kundabuffer or Kundartiguador? - (405)

Introduction Gurdjieff and Master Samael spoke much about the Kundabuffer organ and a lot of what Master Samael said is pretty clear. This post is just about going over some of what he said. In the Quinto Evangelio, Master Samael also revealed many more details which do not appear in his books. Note, the Qunito Evangelio is a two tome compilation of transcriptions of many recordings of informal talks that Master Samael had with his students. English and Spanish Terms There are these two terms Kundartiguador and Kundabuffer which refer to the same thing. Kundartiguador is Spanish and Kundabuffer is English. I believe it was Gurdjieff who first introduced these terms in his book “Beelzebub’s Tales to his Grandson”. I believe “Beelzebub’s Tales to his Grandson” was not originally written in ether Spanish or English. So these terms Kundartiguador and Kundabuffer are translations where the word “Kunda” could not be translated and the ending "buffer" could b...

When We Speak Bad About Ourselves - Because of Self-Compassion - (2963)

Even Just Thinking Negative When we just even think, let alone speak about ourselves in a negative way, thinking things like: how we are really this and that bad and that is not at all what others see, that we are in capable, worth little, know nothing, can't do this and that, fail at this and that, a liar, a dreamer the list goes on... We can be 100% sure that self-compassion is behind this because pride by itself would never allow this. In a case like this self-compassion taps into what pride hides from itself and others and exposes it. Feeling that it is doing job at ruining ourselves. Why It Does What It Does? Self-compassion does this sort of thing to avoid reprimand and to extract compassion from others. Self-compassion is about getting compassion for ourselves through others. It is set-up in relativity, using others as a reference point. Really the best thing that you can do for a person who is pitted against this ego is to ignore them, so that they can fa...

Embrace Motor Centre Lingo to Act - (6101)

To overcome the overthinking issue and the lamentation of not doing, we can use a key where we embrace the language of the motor centre. Before we do that we need to know the language of the motor centre. The language of the motor is action, it is doing. It is life in motion. It is starting, it is 'getting stuck into' a task without reasoning. "Get it done!" is the motto of the motor centre. "Let's find out!" is another. The motor centre modus operandi is not reasoning, that belongs to the intellect. So delaying and postponing is the intellect. It's not the motor centre. The motor centre is about doing. The more we just do something when we think of it or feel like no matter what the mind reasons (unless a very good physical reason) the more we are embracing the language of the motor centre. Action without thinking. There has to be thinking but thinking aligned with doing, not thinking against doing. The motor is always doing. Not doing something...
